Primaluna and Rogue


Hey all, I've done a lot of reading on the Rogue Audio and Primaluna gear. I Like what I've read, and I actually heard the m150's a while back and came away impressed. I have not personally listened to any Primaluna gear.

Do any of you have thoughts either way? I'm looking at Prologue 6 & 7, vs. Rouges m120 and M150. A lot will have to do with what becomes available on Audiogon, but I am prepared to purchase Prologue 6 new if necessary. Thanks

use gloves when handling any of the tubes , large or small
The Magnum should have the KT90 powertubes which with the larger power supply allows for the unit generate 90 wpc - these are tubes that get biased . The small tubes are all signal stage tubes
Donjr - any idea what brand 12 au7's and ax7's are coming along with your Magnum?
Donjr - the names should be on the glass - brands such as JJ, EH (electron harmonis) , sovtek are new production, those like RCA, Sylvania, Telefunken are NOS - Mullards and Tungsols can be either - here's a couple of links - TubeDepot sells both - new & NOS , Brent jesse sells NOS -PS I'm not affiliated with either just a customer of both - If it doesn't have NOS you can get them without spending a fortune and get a big difference to my ears - likewise you can spend a lot on NOS if you have the bucks

Donjr when they shipped me my Magnum all of the signal tubes were Sylvania's , might want to just give them a call and ask
I would check the bias just to be sure each tube isset right - its simply and easy on the amp to do - let the amp warm up for 30 minues with the volume turned down then check it - after that check it 1x a month
